Last week event professionals from all over the DC area gathered at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center for BizBash Live! Featuring TED-style talks and collaborative panels from more than 15 key industry leaders, this thoughtfully curated conference offered attendees a series of sessions that explored the latest tools, tips, trends and tricks of our trade. The attendee experience was enhanced, as influential event professionals connected during the networking luncheon, reception and after-party exchanging ideas and forging future partnerships.
As a proud event sponsor and venue host, members of #TeamTCMA worked with BizBash to plan and execute the conference at the Reagan Building, but as members of the events community our team also attended the inspirational sessions. Take a look as they share their top five takeaways from the event!
